LAKERS LOOK UNSTOPPABLE!

The Lakers blew out the Clippers 117-79 last night. While it's still early in the season this version of the Lakers is going to surprise teams with their aggressive defense and offense.

The team is so deep that the 2nd team probably could hold it's own with 80 percent of the teams in the NBA. It's going to be an exciting year for the purple and gold.

Bynum's return makes the Lakers the favorite to win title

Kobe Bryant is focused and at the top of his game. With Andrew Bynum back at Center the Lakers are looking like the team to beat. After winning the Western Conference the Lakers fell to their ancient rival the Boston Celtics.

It's not going to easy however, as the Western Conference still has most of the best teams.

The East doesn't look much different from last year with Boston being the class act. Detroit maybe there and Lebron is going to make Cleveland a team to contend with as usual.

But, for an old Laker fan like me...it's all about fun when the NBA gets underway next

Tuesday.
